Sensational! Keep your eyes on the prize! Yes your surgery in June will provide even more motivation for you. Will the surgery be covered by insurance, or will you have to pay out of pocket?

No I was referring to why I did not want the roux en y, sorry I'll change that

@@stacyrg2 can you tell me how experienced your surgeon was? Did you have any complications after the surgery? Also did your insurance pay for it? I am really scared. I am starting to have a burning sensation when I wake up in the middle of the night - I think it is LPR because I can taste Fluid going up my throat. My voice is hoarse, and now I have this weird sensation in my chest. Some days I can taste a tiny bit of blood in the back of my throat. I just wish my dr had given me statistics on this. I told him that I didn't want the sleeve because of malabsorption issues, and he told me that it was a legitimate reason: However he did not tell me that the malabsorption can weight out the possibility of developing esophageal carcinoma down the line. I explained to him that I had an uncle who died from it. Did you see a doctor who specializes in revisions from sleeve to roux en y? Thanks for your answers.

Hi I am wondering- how you are doing now? I had the same rational as you, but now I am thinking I made a HUGE mistake. I have constant burning in my esophagus that will not go away. I'm scared to death at this point. Nothing is working, and it seems like pills are stuck in my throat and chest. When he asked me why I was fearful of roux en y, I told him, malasorbtion, and he said it was a valid point. Now I am thinking that maybe malasorbtion is better than esophageal carcinoma or horrific side effects from the PPIs I just made the wrong call

@@Happydales may I ask the name and dosage of the medication you are taking for bile reflux? Also, what made the drs come up with that diagnosis? What specific test did they give you and what did they see? Oops, I saw another thread where you wrote your medication and dosage. How does the medication stop the bile reflux?

I can eat hot dog with a 3rd of the bun removed in less than minutes when I am really hungry. I can eat a Ny slice of pizza as well. Today I had a protein shake, 7 tortilla chips with cheese, a hot dog and a wing and some wine. I don't always eat this way, but I must also add that I have worked out for 1.5 hours. I also reached my dr's goal in 7 months, but I want to lose 20 more lbs.

@@Nycatt You are awesome!! What is your diet like? How many calories / carbs/ protein are you doing daily? How about exercise? I wish my skin could look as great as yours You look amazing!!!

Hi! What do your fasting levels run? How many carbs do you take in daily? Do you eat sugar at all?

Hi, I have been type 2 for 17 years. I am almost six months post op. I still have type 2, but I only take 1 Metformin 500 mg tablet a day. I exercise, and that helps to give me normal fasting levels. I will always have diabetes, but I can control it now.

@Linzloo2000 That's what I do, but it had been so hard to lose. I am wondering if it is my carb intake. How many mg of carbs are you taking in a day?

@@Linzlou question: what is your exercise schedule and caloric intake?

I am in the process of bagging up my things now!
